Installation Instructions - tar.gz package for Mac OSX:

To install the Mac OSX package please follow these steps:

  1. After downloading the tar.gz package, you need to uncompress and extract it in a location of your choice, for example, /sw/lib, /usr/lib or /usr/local or /usr/local/lib. For the purpose of this document, it is assumed you are going to install UltraScan in /usr/lib and /path is the path to your downloaded file.
    cd /usr/lib
    gzip -d /path/ultrascan-version.tar.gz
    
    For bzip2 compressed binaries, use:
    bzip2 -d /path/ultrascan-version.tar.bz2
    
    tar -xvf /path/ultrascan-version.tar
    

  2. Next, you need to set the following environment variables, either in the private login script file, or in a global login script file, or alternatively as shown in option (5):

    For sh, bash:

    export ULTRASCAN=/usr/lib/ultrascan
    export PATH=$PATH:$ULTRASCAN/bin
    

    For csh, tcsh:

    setenv ULTRASCAN /usr/lib/ultrascan
    setenv PATH "$PATH:$ULTRASCAN/bin"
    

  3. If your Unix system does not support /etc/ld.so.conf dynamic link configurations, you will need to modify the "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable and add the UltraScan library directory to it:

    For sh, bash:

    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/ultrascan/lib
    

    For csh, tcsh:

    setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH "$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/ultrascan/lib"
    

  4. To verify that the environment variables are correctly installed, use the "echo" command:

    echo $VARIABLE
    

  5. Next, verify that all dependencies are satisfied. UltraScan requires QT version 3.1.x with the following compile time options:

    configure -qt-gif -thread -shared -qt-sql-mysql
